Yes, the M96 Swedish Mauser will handle the 8x57 with no problem or alterations other than a barrel change (or re-bore & re-chamber job). All rifles are individuals, so there's always the chance the action might need some very minor tuning for feeding and function. I would rate the chance of that at less than 1%, though.

Swedish Mauser in 8x57 Mauser?

The question is, Why?

There are way too many reasonable priced 8X57s on the market to bother.

Course in gun projects, "cause I want to" is good enough.

Swedish Mauser in 8x57 Mauser?

Naw......I disagree Big Bill!

No one should mess up a Swede! There are too many other mauser actions out there to sacrifice even one Swede!

Gentlemen,

You really need to learn to read the questions and who posted them. I didn't post it, all I did was answer it.

Rocky, Big Bill, TC Louis,

Apologies for the mis-Q. The message should have been sent to Advocate who inquired originally. Yes, too much green eggs and ham and all that's sooooo good (or perhaps the eggnog had a touch too much nutmeg)! Hope you all had a memorable Merry Christmas and Santa was good to ya!

Big Bill, Mama gave me a subscription to "Gun List". Do you get it? How's it compare to Shotgun News? I found "www.outdoor-source.com" has 6.5x55mm S&B Ammo $10.39/ $10.59 box.

Advocate......When are you going to jump on board and join us?

Swedish Mauser in 8x57 Mauser?

I bought my 96 as a barreled action rechambered in 6.5X284. Its new barrel will be in .250 Sav. I have a .260 Rem. and a .260 AI. so I don't need another 6.5 yet.
